Anthony Bourdain at a Montreal Canadiens hockey game with (upper left to right) David McMillan, Frederic Morin, Normand Laprise, (lower) Marc Beaudin and Martin Picard.

In his passionate ode to the province (Bourdain says Montreal is his favourite Canadian city, so too bad for the foodies in Toronto and Vancouver), the renowned and famously irreverent raconteur takes us on a wild ride of Quebec through the eyes of his Canadian culinary soulmates — Joe Beef's David McMillan and Frederic Morin and Au Pied de Cochon's Martin Picard.

For lovers of Quebec, hockey, foie gras and chartreuse, it was an epic episode with titillating bits of separatist politics, French-Canadian lore and of course...some naughty stuff like stripper talk and the right way to lick maple taffy.
